She said her work has nominated MP for PwD has seen her transverse the country and internationally, “which makes this foundation to be owned by people with disability, not only Ghati.”

During the launch which also extended to Rongo, Nyatike and Suna area several aides for PwD were shared in the process.

Ghati challenged police to arrest and prosecute individuals who rape or defile Persons Living with Disability.

The legislator called on society to ensure all people living with disability are counted in the forthcoming national census.
